opened up a big lead, never
looking back on his way to the
checkered flag. Behind him,
TZR/Woodstock KTM's Cody
VanBuskirk moved into second
place leaving Blake Green and
Carlen Gardner to duke it out for
third. The duo eventually came
together, which handed the ad-
vantage to a patient Ben Nelko,
who put his Team DirtBike Mike/
KTM Sports Center of Little
Rock KTM on the podium.
On Saturday night, Blose was
able to back up his win with
another in Ontario. It was a bit
tougher than Friday night's win
after he got out to a sixth-place
start in the first main event.
While Faith grabbed the hole-
shot and ran off with the early
lead, Blose worked his way into
the top-five. Once into fourth
place, Blose capitalized on
some bad luck for second- and
third-place riders Sewell and
Lamay. A crash involving Kyle
Regal collected both of them,
handing the podium position
over to Blose. Hayes got around
him to take second, with Blose
carding third.
In the second main event,
Jace Owen took over the lead
after Regal cased a jump and
carried it to his career-first Ar-
enacross main event win. Blose
held on for second with Faith
taking third. Blose's 3-2 finish
along with another Head 2 Head
Challenge win gave him the Sun-
day night victory, but only after a
tie-breaker with Gavin Faith, who
recorded a 1-3 finish. Blose's
stronger finish in the second
main tipped the scales in his
favor. Owen collected third on
the night with his 4-1 score.
Blose left Ontario with the
lead in the Race to the Cham-
pionship standings at 68 points
ahead of Gavin Faith (66) and
Jace Owen (59).
The Lites Class main event
once again saw a first-time
winner, as DrivenMX Yamaha's
Stone Edler had a near-perfect
performance to claim the victory.
Friday night winner Harmon took
second followed by VanBuskirk,
who rounded out the podium. CN
